  Thank you for the response, but I more meant along the lines of the actual facing of the image. When you load an image, it is facing to the right. My students forget this, so they end up loading images in a way that implies that they are facing upwards or to the left, and then need assistance to fix this so that their image and their sprite are facing the same way. I guess I'll just make a sign to remind them.

  Thanks again!

  I'm new to this forum, so I don't know if this has already been posted. Forgive me if it has.

  I work with Construct Classic over the summer. I teach children how to make games in it, and I am a huge fan of it in general. One thing that has always been a bit weird for me, though, is that the initial orientation for Sprites is to the right. I'm actually fine with that, but it doesn't mention this anywhere, and our students have a low retention rate for fine details, so I often have to explain to students that the reason their bullets are flying the wrong way is because they oriented their image incorrectly. Is there a way to change the orientation for a sprite without doing the whole rotate image then resize dance that I find myself doing a few times a week? If not, I would love to see that as a feature in Construct 2 or future versions.

  Thanks in advance!
